[Zope3-dev] access to download.zope.org/distribution

[Martijn Faassen]

Hi there,

We have various people in the community who produce eggs in large 
quantities (Baiju, Christian Theune). These frequently get uploaded to 
download.zope.org/distribution.

We currently have the problem that removing an egg (if uploaded by 
mistake) is not possible for the community. This is important if we 
upload eggs with the wrong version number, for instance.

In addition, community members also cannot go in and fix permission 
problems, something Christian ran into recently. I think he fixed this 
by uploading a new egg with different permissions, but still that's a 
bother.

Would it be possible to give community members shell access to the 
distribution directory? If not, would it be possible to move towards a 
community-run download.zope.org instead, so that we *can* give people 
access? We have a virtual server sitting around at Amaze that would be 
fine for this purpose, for instance.

Regards,

Martijn
